Commish upholds Saints punishments

The New Orleans Saints, along with coach Sean Payton, general manager Mickey Loomis and assistant head coach Joe Vitt, were notified Monday that after careful consideration of their appeals, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has upheld the discipline that was imposed for continuing violations of the league’s anti-bounty rule that endangered player safety over a three-year period.

I think it turns out that the audio being released is a very good thing. With it, I think the general outrage (as large as it was already) surpassed anything Goodell could have ignored.

I'm awaiting to see what happens to D.J.'s and McBean's situations. Goodell has not shown the propensity for reconsidering such decisions. That's good (in the case of other teams) and bad (in the case of our own), if you get my drift . . .

The second I heard that audio recording I could not imagine a scenario where the commish lessened the discipline.
